FAQ
Example:
In general, it is recommended to use always a project to download your libraries. In an application normally there is more than one library needed.
- Some hosting areas are not accessible by a terminal or SSH. Then it is not possible to use Composer.
- To use Composer is sometimes complicated. Especially for beginners.
- Composer needs much resources. Sometimes they are not available on a simple webspace.
- If you are using private repositories you don't need to share your credentials. You can set up everything on our site and then you provide a simple download link to your team member.
- Simplify your Composer build process. Use our own command line tool to download the vendor folder as binary. This makes your build process faster and you don't need to expose your credentials for private repositories.
Informations about the package coffeescript
CoffeeScript PHP
A port of the CoffeeScript compiler to PHP.
Status
CoffeeScript version 1.3.1 has been fully ported over (see tags). There are a couple benign differences between the port's compiled code and the reference's (for example #11), otherwise they match 100%.
Requirements
PHP 5.3+ (uses namespaces, anonymous functions).
Install
It's recommended that you use Composer to install and autoload CoffeeScript. Alternatively you can load it manually:
Usage
The API is really basic (single compile($coffee, $options = NULL) function).
I don't plan on expanding it further (keeping it simple). Here are the available
options:
- filename - The source filename, formatted into error messages
- header - Add a "Generated by..." header
- bare - If set to , the generated Javascript won't be embedded in a IIFE
- rewrite - Enable the rewriter (debugging)
- tokens - Reference to token stream (debugging)
- trace - File to write parser trace to (debugging)
Development
To rebuild the parser run php make.php. Tests are run in the browser; simply
clone the repository somewhere Apache can see it and navigate to tests/.
FAQ
What was the motivation for this project?
I was using PHP a lot at the time and wanted to use, learn more about, and potentially contribute to the CoffeeScript project. I thought it'd be nice to have a native version gave it a shot.
Why not modify the original compiler to emit PHP?
For a number of reasons... First, I don't know why you'd want something like that. If you find PHP intolerable, just don't use it... Second, the original compiler depends on Jison, which is written in JavaScript, so you'd have to do something about that. Third, I think it'd be much more work to try and sort out all the differences between JavaScript and PHP (object model, core classes and libraries, etc).
What parser generator are you using?
Since there's no PHP port of Bison (which the reference compiler uses), we're using a port of Lemon called ParserGenerator.
It's included locally since the PEAR package is unmaintained and seems to be broken. In addition, some minor changes have been made to the parser template (Lempar.php) and the actual generator.
